Ever notice how when life gets intense, you somehow handle it really well?

You’re calm.
You’re competent.
You get everyone through it.

And then later… you’re wrecked.

Crying. Snappy. Exhausted. Numb.
Wondering why you “can’t just be fine” now that it’s over.

That’s not you failing.
That’s high distress tolerance.

It gets you through the moment, but it doesn’t mean your nervous system had the capacity to take care of you while it was happening.

A lot of us learned how to endure, while very few of us learned how to support ourselves in real time.

So we push.
We hold.
We power through.

And then the body taps out once it’s safe.

Nothing is wrong with you.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not “too much.”

You just deserve skills that don’t require collapse as the recovery plan.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. And no, this isn’t about being tougher. It’s about being kinder to your nervous system.

If you were taught that being “good” meant overgiving, staying quiet, or keeping the peace, then being self-ish can feel deeply uncomfortable.

That discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It usually means an old pattern is changing.

Being self-ish isn’t about taking more from others. It’s about abandoning yourself less. It’s knowing your limits before resentment shows up. It’s resting before you snap. It’s saying no early instead of disappearing later.

And yes, when you shift, not everyone will love it. That reaction is information about the dynamic, not a verdict on your character.

Self-ish is self respect.
Self-ish is self regulation.
Self-ish is how relationships stay honest and sustainable.

If this landed, save it. If it stirred something, that’s worth noticing too.

You’re not selfish. You’re learning to stay with yourself.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about learning how to feel safe enough to be yourself again.

Mind Your Heart Academy exists for people who are already doing the work but don’t want to do it alone anymore.

👉🏼 If therapy gave you insight but your body still panics
👉🏼 If you’re self aware and still exhausted
👉🏼 If you’re tired of white knuckling your nervous system and calling it growth

This space was built for you.

✔️ Monthly trauma informed education
✔️ Practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon
✔️ A grounded, consent based community
✔️ No pressure to share. No forced vulnerability. No spiritual bypassing.

🎉 Just education, regulation, and real support for real humans.

✨ Facilitated by Angie
I remain the founder and clinical overseer, while Angie leads the monthly workshops and community space with care and consistency.

🚫 This space isn’t for crisis support, it’s for steady, supported growth.

You don’t need to be healed.
You just need to be willing to show up as you are.

Doors are open.
Your nervous system is invited too. 🧠✨

Happy anniversary to me. Ten years in business today. 🎉
Which feels both impressive and mildly unbelievable.

I didn’t start here.

I started as an energy healer.
Then I taught spiritual development.
Then meditation.
Then coaching.
Then stress management in the school district.
Then I fell deep into trauma education because harm reduction actually matters. (In all spaces)

Then I kept going.

I started teaching trauma education.
I founded Mind Your Heart Academy.
And now I’m doing the work I once didn’t have language for yet - healing and working as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor - while writing curriculum & directing programs at MYHA.

Looking back, none of it was random.
Each chapter taught me something the next one needed.

What changed my business the most wasn’t strategy.
It was learning how to work without burning my nervous system to the ground. (Hot dumpster fire, no longer!)

That question: How do we do this work without harming ourselves? is what eventually became The Trauma-Informed Practitioner.

Not a pivot.
An integration.

Ten years in.
Still learning.
Still evolving.
Still choosing alignment.

Happy decade to me 🥂

For those who hold others all day.
January circle + December bonus. No pressure. Just support.

Because if you’re a helper, healer, or practitioner, there’s a good chance you’ve been holding a lot this year. For clients. For students. For your work. For your people. Possibly while quietly telling yourself, “I’ll rest later.”

There’s a kind of grief that doesn’t get named very often.

It’s the grief of loving people from a distance. Of growing without being witnessed by everyone who knew you before. Of becoming someone new without a shared storyline to carry it.

Nothing dramatic.
Nothing loud.

Just quiet moments where you realize some people won’t get to see who you are now.

Not because you didn’t try.
Not because you didn’t reflect.
But because access isn’t the same thing as connection.

If this resonates, you’re not cold.
You’re not avoidant.
You’re not doing healing wrong.

You’re allowed to keep growing even if not everyone gets a front-row seat.

And if someone needs to fully understand you in order for you to feel at peace that’s already too heavy a burden to carry.

You’re allowed to choose distance and still have a very full heart.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

And you don’t owe anyone a version of you that costs you your nervous system.

With care,
Lea

Resistance is often just a misattuned moment.

Trauma-Informed care asks us to slow down, share power, and get curious about what the behaviour is protecting.

It’s not about compliance, it’s about connection.

Join us for a FREE call on Tuesday, December 9 @9:30am PST to learn how to become “The Informed Practitioner”

Loneliness is real in this field, even when we love the work.
Most of us were trained to support others, not to have spaces that support us.

If you’ve been craving honest, practitioner-to-practitioner connection… that’s exactly what we’re building in The Informed Practitioner.

Free Call December 9th 👉🏼 comment T.I.P and I’ll dm you the details!

These myths?
They’re the lies that burn us out, isolate us, and make us think we’re the only ones struggling behind the scenes.

You don’t need to be flawless to be ethical.
You don’t need infinite capacity to be aligned.
And you definitely don’t need to do this work alone.

If you want a room where we talk about the real side of practice: the boundaries, the doubts, the emotional load, the “is it just me?” moments …

and I are hosting a free call on December 9th and launching The Informed Practitioner Circle in January.

You’re not supposed to muscle through this field solo.
Community is the difference between “I’m okay” and “I’m actually doing well.”

Let’s talk about the real stuff, the messy, human, behind-the-scenes work … together.

👉🏼 Comment TIP if you want the details!! 👈🏼

With care,
Lea & Meaghan ❤️
